I’ve come across this sentence [keeping fingers crossed that I can type in Greek emoticon]:
[size=150]ὁ διογένες, ἐρωτηθεὶς διὰ τί οἱ αθληταὶ αναίσθητοί εἰσιν, ἔφη ὅτι κρέασιν ὑείοις καὶ βοείοις ἀνῳκοδόμηνται
This is from [size=150]οἰκοδομέω
Could I have a go and suggest this might be:
the indicative middle perfect third person plural of
[size=150] ἀνοικοδομέω
[quote author=bingley link=board=2;threadid=194;start=0#921 date=1056282380]
Could someone parse [size=150]ἀνῳκοδόμηνται
3rd person plural perfect passive indicative was what I thought it must be, but shouldn’t it be -[size=150]ενται

I’ve forgotten more than I realised. Thanks for the help, all.

That’s ok. I’m always being reminded of things I thought I already knew.
